makeup effects artist Rick Baker has brought his monster-making talent to one of DCs most iconic Super-Villains The Joker The Joker Bust by Rick Baker is designed sculpted and painted by Baker and features the same spine-chilling attention to detail that can be expected from the Academy Award winner Measured at 225 tall only 200 of these limited-edition busts will be produced and each will be numbered Fans can bring home this high-end collectible from DC Collectibles in October 2018 at a suggested retail price of 100000 DC Collectibles is always seeking out interesting artists from different industries to bring their unique art styles to DCs popular characters and we are thrilled to partner with Rick Baker on this sculpture explained Jim Fletcher executive creative director of DC Collectibles From the disturbing eyes to the sinister smile Rick did a masterful job capturing The Jokers psychotic demeanor When DC Collectibles approached me about this project I jumped at the chance to do something with The Joker said Baker The Joker is one of the most notorious Super-Villains of all time and I had a blast depicting his twisted and demented personality through this bust The DC Collectibles team was great to work with and gave me complete creative freedom to bring my version of the character to life DC Collectibles has also tapped acclaimed musician and writer Gerard Way to design original iterations of The Joker and Batman for the companys best-selling Batman Black White statue line The eccentric character designs are based on sketches Way created for a past story idea and will now be brought to life as 7 statues in 2018 I am extremely excited to have teamed up with the wonderful people of DC Collectibles to bring fans these visions of Batman and The Joker in physical and wonderfully monochromatic form said Way My ink and wash drawings of these two characters come from a pitch I had created called Kingdom of The Mad which in my opinion is a very dark take on the characters so seeing them in gorgeous black white and grey seems very fitting I hope fans enjoy these different takes on the characters and I am honored to now be a part of the Batman Black White family Our Batman Black White statue line has always been a great avenue to try new ideas and welcome new artists into the DC Collectibles fold said Fletcher Gerards indie art style is a perfect fit for this series and offers a fresh take on Batman and The Joker that weve never seen before DC Collectibles will also debut new DOOMSDAY CLOCK action figures in 2018 based on Geoff Johns and Gary Franks critically acclaimed comic book series The 7 figures will release in sets of two and will include fan-favorite WATCHMEN characters Dr Manhattan Ozymandias Rorschach and the Comedian
